mira jiina gavahi de raha hai
abhi mujh ko bahut kuchh dekhna hai
mujhe hairat hai apne dil pe kitni
ye mera saath ab tak de raha hai
koi roke ravani ansuon ki
ye dariya bahte bahte thak gaya hai
main padh sakti huun un-likkhe ko ab bhi
ye kashf-e-zat hai ya ik saza hai
ye kaisi sazishon men ghar gai huun
mujhe mujh se chhupaya ja raha hai
ghane jangal men tanha chhod kar vo
kahin se chhup ke mujh ko dekhta hai
khuda-hafiz mire ai ham-nashino
ki mujh ko to bulava aa gaya hai
kashish kuchh is qadar hai mujh men ‘shabnam’
samundar meri janib badh raha hai
